Surgery For Torn Labrum, Breathing Difficulty, Pain In Lungs, Stool Green
Hi. I recently had surgery on my shoulder to repair a torn labrum (about two weeks ago). About a week following the surgery, I had difficulty breathing (particularly when I was lying down) and pain in my lungs. I haven t experienced it recently, but now my stool is green. Should I be concerned?

I would suggest you to show it to your doctor and make sure that you do not have any chest injury , fluid collection or respiratory infection. sometime there is chances of infection in chest specially in patients with hospitalisation. I hope you are not a smoker, if yes then i would advice you to quit smoking as well.
